Probably my next (first big-boy) cello - Question regarding A tone
It's on loan right now, but I'll probably buy it after teach signs off on it. A 1969 Carl Sandner.
Question: The tone is great, but I kind of dislike the A - it's a bit piercing. Do you find that you can improve your A tone with different strings, or is it more baked in to the cello? I believe A and D are currently Larsen solos. This is my first nice set of strings, so maybe I set my expectations too high.
Also, if anyone can read the model, please let me know... I can't make out the last few letters.
